Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

:happy yessss were is this up?

Britain's Amir Khan says he could fight Floyd Mayweather in September despite previously stating Ramadan might disrupt his training.

Khan, 28, is a Muslim and is set to fast during the holy month, which lasts from mid-June to mid-July this year.

Ahead of his bout with Chris Algieri on 29 May, Khan said: "Mayweather normally fights mid-September and Ramadan is a little bit earlier this year.

"It gives me enough time to get the training done, so it can happen."

Khan said on Sunday that Mayweather's manager was keen to "get a fight on" after the undisputed welterweight champion beat Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.

Mayweather, 38, took his unbeaten record to 48 fights with a one-sided points victory over Pacquiao and is expected to make his next fight his last.

Bolton-born Khan, who takes on former light-welterweight world champion Algieri in New York, says he has also been invited to fight Pacquiao, 36.

But Khan insisted his focus is purely on Algieri, who was knocked down six times by Pacquiao during a massive points defeat in November.

He said: "I really can't take this Algeri fight lightly - lose and it would ruin my dreams to fight the biggest names in boxing.

"I'm not going to be fighting Mayweather until I win this fight. I'm not looking past Chris because I've made that mistake in the past. There are bigger fights out there for me, but this is my focus."

During Ramadan practising Muslims fast during daylight hours to learn self-discipline, while also reminding them of those less fortunate than themselves.

Hope the fight gets made

 

good on ye khan, all the muslims on here dead wrong

 

Won't let me post the link but it's on BBC Boxing.

 

Floyd Mayweather > Islam

rekt.

 

Khan can forget about it. I don't think Khan, Brook, or Thurman will get the call.

 

Danny Garcia :rofl

"The unbeaten Light welter champion who beat Amir Khan! - he's a solid competitor!"

 

Danny Garcia destroyed Khan.

 

he has 6 toes atsch

 

i would sy he is more solid than say cage chris
who was champion for what one fight garcia rightly or wrongly cleared out the division taking dangerous fights bar salka and may be a shot to **** judah

 

He has the time now, but it'll be the perfect excuse when he loses (if the fight gets made).

 

khan as no brain :hey

or if he as its on an involuntary basis

 

Algieri Vs Garcia is an interesting fight.

Khan Vs Garcia is something most people want to see

Khan Algieri is bad

So yes you could say Garcia is more solid than Algieri since he has more of a chance to beat Khan...simply due to his power.

 

I hope Khan doesn't go into this fight anything other than 100%. I don't think its possible to recover from Ramadan into a training camp at that level straight away, but then again the human body is a remarkable thing.
